Here is the letter I am sending to Gov. Christie. Any recommendations for improvement?
Dear Governor Christie;
I am writing you this letter today to let you know of my deep concerns with the recently approved assembly bills. In light of the mass murder of innocent children in Connecticut, there needs to be serious discussion about measures that can be put in place to provide more comprehensive assistance to mental health patients. As it stands, there are few alternatives for families with mentally ill relatives. These neoteric gun laws serve no purpose other than than that of a red herring, meant to divert the public from the real issues at hand.
The law abiding gun owners in NJ have, time and time again, been victimized by unnecessary and unconstitutional laws that do nothing to prevent crime. The gun owners in NJ are the single most responsible group of people in the state. Background checks include two references, employment verification, mental health checks and waiting periods. After passing all of that, you are required to get another check at the time of each purchase through the NICS system. Anyone approved for purchasing a gun in NJ has been meticulously scrutinized. There are so many layers of gun laws that the police don't even know what is legal.
Most guns used in NJ crimes come from another state. The current bills will require disposal of guns and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. After 90 days, failure to comply with these laws will result in a felony and carry a possible prison sentence. Most handguns used for home protection hold more than 10 rounds. NJ already prohibits so called assault firearms and magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. How would this additional law prevent more tragedies?
Prohibiting law abiding people from purchasing ammunition outside of NJ will only cause a burden on the forthright people of our state and will be a clear violation of the commerce clause. Online retailers require a copy of FID card and photo ID to purchase. This will again cause unnecessary and unwarranted hardship on the competitive gun users in our state.
The bottom line is that we have too many gun laws already in NJ. All of the laws currently in the legislature will only make law abiding citizens felons, and will also give an advantage to the criminals. I am an ardent supporter of you; I donated to your campaign and I did all I could to get friends and family to elect you. You promised us you wouldn't pass any more gun laws. I hope you keep your promise, as I will no longer support you in the future if you fail to veto any feel-good, knee-jerk bills that arrive on your desk.
Thank You,
James Hartman

Hi Everybody,
I am new to this forum and to gun ownership in general. I've always been interested in firearms but was scared away by New Jersey's stringent firearm laws. Finally, within this past year, i took the plunge and submitted an application for my FID. I received it a few months ago and immediately purchased a 12 gauge for trap shooting. I've been having a blast. However, I've been looking into acquiring a rifle that i can plink around on at the range. I'm very interested in purchasing an SKS. I've read that they can be had for cheap and i love the look and feel of them. I had a chance to shoot one that my coworker owns and since then i've been sold. That being said, my coworker is not a New Jersey resident.
My question is... Being a New Jersey resident, how can i go about purchasing an SKS? I noticed that a great deal of them are offered online but obviously that is a no-no in NJ. Also, they do not seem to be offered in any of the local gun stores, more than likely due to their age. I'd rather not have to travel out of state.
Any suggestions? I'd rather not have to travel out-of-state to a PA gun show or something.
Best,
Michael

I can do $3000 without the Geissele trigger (and with OEM factory FN SCAR trigger). Optic (Razor Gen 2 3-18 in Spuhr QD mount $1850) and accessories (PMM selectors, QD, Atlas QD bipod, SF SOCOM brake) can be included for extra. Only trades towards aimpoint P2, trijicon RCR, 9mm/7.62x51, 5.56x45 ammo, etc plus cash on ur end. I will cut a great deal if everything is bought as pictured.
